People spend so much time worrying about whether a figure is "mint" or not that they never stop to consider other flavours.

Individually, a spammer is nothing. Just a poverty-stricken person with internet access and a vague desire to use others to get ahead. If there was just this 1 guy doing this, none of us would give a shit about it at all, it'd be entirely meaningless and we'd ignore it entirely. It's the overall group of spammers, that is where the real problem lies - the growing mindset of trying to get something for nothing, despite them actually DOING something and GETTING almost nothing. So we need to break the fingers of the CONCEPT of spammers, not the individuals, and we do so by deleting spam, staying vigilant, and not clicking any random junk links or supporting sponsors who would actually pay worthless traffic-gathering garbage.

"Getting nothing for something" is a pretty hilarious way of describing spamming... and in fact all unpaid, unsolicited marketing.
